NBA Conference 2026 | VDM Accuses Elites of Fueling Nigeria’s Insecurity

VeryDarkMan, VDM, has made a series of claims about the forces behind insecurity in Nigeria, arguing that some Fulani communities are being used by powerful interests in criminal activities. He alleges that elites and corrupt officials exploit insecurity to gain access to mineral-rich communities and mining sites. VDM also links violence and displacement in parts of Nigeria to struggles over land and mineral resources, particularly in mining areas such as Zamfara. He further alleges that security agencies protect some mining operations and says powerful interests benefit from the activities. His claims about ethnic groups, government officials and security agencies have not been independently verified.
